Snowblower Attachment Clears Slush
“It was a little frustrating,” Santino says. “Garden tractors and trucks had blades, and even some cars were adapted for a small blade. I was stuck in the slush on shorter driveways, breaking my back with a shovel.”
After considering this dilemma, he devised the idea for the Throwerblade attachment built to fit any two or three-stage snowblower.
The Throwerblade consists of a 22 to 32-in. expandable plow blade, mounting brackets and arms, and all necessary hardware, including wrenches, tools and a drill bit.
Installation requires only a few simple measurements and steps. Once the brackets are installed, the arms are attached with simple lock pins, and the blade is sized and secured to fit the snowblower’s width. The optimal blade width reaches 3 in. over on each side. The attachment arms slide into the brackets and can be locked with angle lock pins at a desired distance from the blower, with the blade angled left, right or straight.
When using the snowblower traditionally, the arms can be locked up and out of the way with two lift lock pins. The blade and arms can also be quickly removed in one piece and folded up for convenient storage.
“It’s amazing how much torque these self-propelled snowblowers have. They handle the heaviest slush, and the blade pushes it right where you want it with no issues,” Santino says.
The Throwerblade is manufactured overseas and warehoused in Toronto. It’s sold directly from the website and can be delivered in North America in three to five days. The unit costs $249 CAD plus S&H.
